Call of Duty and Angry Birds would like a word with you.

Seriously. I walked into a Walmart yesterday and found Angry Birds air fresheners, for heaven's sake.---Pokemon Black FC: 1721 7998 0962

All of the Pokemon main entries are very good. So good that they can still release 2 version of the game and it will still sell like hotcakes. And a decent amount of the spinoffs are good as well.

Milked franchises are usually much worse off in terms of quality. Yes, Ash is still a n00b in the anime. Yes, there's all kinds of merchandise (some of it pretty good). And yes, the TGC isn't as good as many others, though it's still a fun game in its own right. But the games is where it's at, it's the driving force of Pokemon. And that's more than alright.

I agree stopped watching the anime but the games are far better.

Rovio is getting there and undoubtedly copying Game Freak's business model, but fortunately, their games are priced at a reasonable $0.00 - $2.99 per title. And they've also tried to innovate through "spinoff" titles like Bad Piggies, compared to Game Freak which outsources all spinoffs to 3rd party studios.---GameFAQs.com: Where YOU make the content, but CBS makes the money.http://lueshi.info/Mario_Zelda_Tier_List.gif

Doesn't matter. Milked or no, they're popular for a very good reason, even if the TC were destined to entirely miss the point on it.---pardon if my posts suck, i post by tapping on the handset button on a one-way analog handset. i saw Hannibal Lecter do it.
